Stop Asian Hate Rally and Vigil

One month after the Atlanta shooting that targeted Asian-owned businesses, up to a thousand Austinites gathered on the lawn of Huston-Tillotson University on Saturday, April 17, to speak out against this past year’s surge in anti-Asian racism. Arranged by a team of grassroots organizers, the Stop Asian Hate Rally and Vigil not only sought to condemn the uptick in racist violence against Asian Americans but also to fortify bonds of unity and solidarity within the various Asian American communities and between other communities of color. – Lilli Hime
